Abstract
The priority development direction of the mushroom industry is in line with the provision of the updated Doctrine of Food Security of Russia. The paper analyzes the production volumes and the market of mushroom products for 2014–2019 according to the import substitution program. Demand exceeds supply and has prospects for further development. The main factors and difficulties hindering the innovative development of the mushroom industry are identified. The mushroom industry depends on the import of compost and substrate. The authors indicated the advantages of the innovative development of mushroom production. The innovative development of the Russian mushroom industry solved several problems at once: import substitution, support of farms, the development of related industries and technology suppliers, the development of exports, and the maintenance of a healthy diet. In the future, the mushroom industry will allow the development of the food, pharmaceutical, and furniture industries. The mushroom industry combines many sciences: microbiology, biochemistry, botany, mycology, microelectronics, etc. In order to solve the personnel issue, it is proposed to apply for specialized training programs in Germany (program “Farm Management”—field commanders) or the project “Agrokebet.”
